You have tried it all. You would think more than 3 tenths. Interesting. I lucked out. Broke one of my heads, but a friend who has decided not to build a stocker motor gave me a heck of a deal on his 518M's. Will have them checked in October when I have a chance to pick them up. If they don't...

Wanting to come up with a price for these headers. Came off my 63 Max Wedge Savoy wagon.

I have had the 1405's worked on and should be fine. They can work on the 63's as a 63 car in C/SA I know has run 10.40's with them. Hope my new high compression 63 motor makes some hp close to his. I did run the big tops on the 3447's and seemed ok. Just seemed to idle better with the...

I ran the 3447's for awhile but went to the Edelbrock replacement. Never run those on the dyno but will with the new motor. Having my headers fixed for O2 sensors on the dyno this time. Always appreciate your help John.

I did see one other place that said 089 primary jets. Thanks.

Thank you for the info and for taking the time to do it.

Anyone know the original primary and secondary jet sizes and metering rod number on the 3447's. Want to help someone out to put them on a 63 Max Wedge street car. At least a good starting point. Thanks for any help.

He will be back next week and I will talk to him then. I believe he has some left.

I need to check and see what the casting number would be.

Looking for a good 426 Max Wedge or 413 industrial block. See what's out there. Thanks.

I have a Turbo Action shifter. I went to thr hardware store and got a larger diameter plastic roller that I replaced the smaller one on the shifter. Made a bracket for a Biondo switch. Wired it so my 2 step only works in first gear. My switch is on the far left of the pedal. Told my son to be...

Getting ready to get this thing started. You guys running 16v systems do you increase the gap on the plugs with a 16v system. I have a MSD 7AL-2. I know to check the timing to see if that has changed and check fuel pressure with the fuel pump using 16v. I thought that someone mentioned they had...

Welcome aboard. You will find this site very helpful.

I did it to have easier starting. My 12v system was an issue, so instead of changing the 12 alternator with something stronger I went with 16v system. More power for the fuel pump (although will change my fuel regulator now), and supposedly more for the MSD. People say I best check the timing...

Thanks for the info. A little work but I think I will put the water pump on 12v just to be safe. Interested to hear you have a regulator on the fuel return as well, if I am reading that right. I will watch the fuel pressure for sure. Don't want to flood this thing.
